finally manage to finish my task successfully! Hahaha. So for this last entry I
will tell you about 3 famous traditional games that still have in Malaysia.

WAU BULAN

First
is Wau. Wau is the giant size of a kite. It’s about 3.5 meters from the head to
the tails. There are many patterns of the Wau but mostly it’s based on the
local flora and fauna. This traditional game is popular among people that live
in east-cost Malaysia which are Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. They will flow
their Wau after the rice harvest season. Its name is Wau because the shape of
the Wau is same with an alphabet in Arab words which is ‘wow’

CONGKAK

is ‘Congkak’. Congkak is consist of one wood that have been decorate nicely with
two sides consist of seven or nine holed for both sides. At the end of the wood
is called house. There are two houses at the end of both sides of the wood. It

Nowadays both genders can play it.

THE MAN PLAYING GASING

Thirdly
is ‘Gasing’. It is a big spinning with weight approximately 5kg to 10lbs. The
step of playing this game is firstly you need to wound the big spinning with
rope and then unfurling it on the ground. While it still spinning used a wooden
bat with a Centre slit and transferred onto a low post with a metal receptacle.
If you are expert in this game, the spinning will spin until 2 hours.
